Rd 2 Lodgement and Banter

[Ringo]

Rd 2:



First named team following is the home team with the advantage:

Liverpool Rams v Bradford Badgers - Both teams coming off a first Round loss and will be looking to rectify the ledger. Badgers will be favourites but if Liverpool captain Beams fires result could go their way.
Manchester Magic v Grope Lane Giants - Another 2 teams coming off losses. Giants are showing good signs after rebuilding and Magic were disappointing last week.  Should be another close game with Magic slightly favoured
Wrexham Knights v Nottingham Hoods - Yet another 2 teams seeking to rectify Rd 1 losses. Hoods would have beaten quite a few teams last week and welcome back Patrick Dangerfield this week so are strongly favoured to beat the Knights.
Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs v Hastings Hurricanes - Hurricanes had a strong win last week and the Hedgies struggled against a defiant Breakers. Hoods to win here.
Blackpool Bunnies v Staines Steins - Expecting a tight tussle here with bot teams on the improve. Only 47 points on raw scores separated these teams last week so really a toss of the coin. Maybe Bunnies HGA will get them over the line.
Birmingham Dragons v Oxford Owls - Another toss of the coin here with only 23 points separating these two teams. My match of the round which will probably come down to Captains performances and HGA where Dragons may have the advantage.
Leeds Leeches v Huddersfield Hawks - Hawks favoured slightly here however Leeches may surprise and with HGA a win by them would not surprise.
Swansea Breakers v Winchester Werewolves. Hard to see anything but a Werewolves win here despite a solid showing by Breakers last week.


This week being Easter we have another rolling lock out and will apply as follows:
Adelaide and Richmond along with C and VC will be locked at Bounce of the Game on Thursday Night.
Norths and Saints players will be locked at bounce of their game at 4:20pm AEDT with balance of players except Geelong and Hawthorn players will be locked at bounce of  Carlton v Suns game on Saturday 12.45pm.
Geelong and Hawthorn players will be locked at bounce of Brisbane and Melbourne Game Saturday Night.

Remember no loopholing though

Remember to lodge teams here and use quote to modify teams.

Good luck all.

Dusty is going to need to do a Tom Mitchell to even have a sliver of hope. I doubt it though.

Just a slight correction to the Friday Lockout as I misread the start time for North v Saints
So Norths and Saints players will be locked at bounce of there game at 4:20pm AEDT
with balance of players except Geelong and Hawthorn players will be locked at bounce of  Carlton v Suns game on Saturday 12.45pm.
OP Updated and balance of games will be completed soon.
Regarding Hoods question due to vagaries of the draw some teams will have 2 away games or 2 home games in a row. Balances out though over the season.
